Some News from Sharon Murphy of the Milton Garden Club...
Hope you all are able to enjoy this gorgeous Fall weather! It is a great time to plant perennials, many of which are on sale right now. Don't be afraid if they look a little scraggly, at this point what you are looking for is a healthy root system that can withstand the winter. In the Spring you will be rewarded with a fabulous looking plant that you may have even forgotten about! If you are not doing any Fall vegetables then now is a great time to start preparing your soil for the Spring. Amend the soil with organic matter and let the soil rest throughout the winter.
The last Milton Community Market was a great success! Again, in the early hours they managed to fill the Scottsdale parking lot and their total contribution to Canine Assistants for this month only was $563, bringing the grand total to over $1,000! Isn't it so amazing that our little market was able to generate so much money for such a worthy cause!
The next Garden Club meeting is scheduled for Oct. 22 and will be held at the clubhouse in Highland Manor. Watch a demonstration on how to make seasonal wreaths and then participate in a bow making workshop. Also, will be raffling off the wreath so come prepared to purchase some raffle tickets! There will be a fee charged for the workshop to cover the cost of the bow and is $5.50 if you pay via internet and $5 if you pay at the door.
This will be our last meeting until January and I wanted to make it a little special so I am asking everyone to bring some wine and perhaps an appetizer. We will celebrate the club's success and chat about our future. For everyone who signed up to help on a committee, thank you so much! You will be contacted by the committee chair shortly. If you are interested in helping out but have not yet signed up we are always looking for volunteers so just send me an email and let me know where your interest lies.
Garden On!
